![]() Cole and Phoebe arrive at Phoebe's old family cabin, where they take refuge and hope to wait out the night, having been brought there from the mysterious message Phoebe received. ![]() Diego and Jimmy supernaturally disintegrate when they attempt to back off from their pursuit of Cole. However, Phoebe sets him on fire with a can of silly string and a lighter and Cole mutilates him with the boats propeller blades. The two board a boat and drive off, but Max catches the raft attached to the back of the boat and is able to pull himself onto the boat. Allison finds them, but the two trap her between a narrow wedge of rocks and then they proceed to rip her head off. Sonya is first to attempt to kill them, but they end up running her over with a car left by a stranger and is then decapitated with a surfboard after it flies off the car. Once on land, Cole explains everything to Phoebe, who believes him, while the cultists give chase. However, Phoebe suddenly appears, looking for gas for her jet ski, and provides Cole with some time to evade the cult members and escape with Phoebe on her jet ski. Original cultists Sonya, Allison, Max, and John also appear, having been resurrected so they could partake in the ritual or else they would die by sunrise. With Boom-Boom's blood as a sacrifice, they need his blood again as an offering of an innocent to make their wishes come true. She then reveals to Cole that she believed him because she had joined the cult to achieve her dreams of becoming a famous influence, with Jimmy and Diego also revealed as cult members. Later, Cole's friends play a party game on a boat when Melanie suddenly kills Boom-Boom. At the party, Cole witnesses new student Phoebe, who has arrived at the lake after finding her missing childhood stuffed toy and directions to the lake in her locker. However, Cole finds out his parents have applied him in a psychiatric school, and he escapes with Melanie alongside her new boyfriend Jimmy, and their friends Boom-Boom and Diego to join a lake party. ![]() He is unable to convince anyone except for his best friend Melanie that a satanic cult led by his former babysitter Bee really tried to kill him. Two years after the events of the first film, Cole is now a junior in high school.If you were a fan of The Babysitter, there is little doubt in my mind that you will have a killer time with the Killer Queen.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Again, the cast delivers, and they look like they are all having a wickedly good time. The gore is also ramped up a bit and like before, played for laughs. Having the action moved outdoors really opened things up. Having everything take place indoors again would have felt repetitive. One of the big things that worked for me was the new setting. Max (Robbie Amell), Sonya (Hana Mae Lee), John (Andrew Bachelor) and Allison (Bella Thorne) are all back and they still want Cole’s blood to complete their ritual. To avoid being sent away to a facility, Cole sneaks off with Melanie to a big party on the lake, where we see the return of the villains who we believed perished in the first film. Cole’s best friend Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind) is the only person who believes him and that is because she was there when it all went down. Nobody believes him about that night and his parents (Leslie Bibb and Ken Marino) are on the verge of sending him to a facility, thinking he is a bit crazy. Our hero from the 2017 film, Cole (Judah Lewis) is a few years older, now in high school but is still haunted by the events that unfolded with his babysitter and her friends. I am going to try and give you a little breakdown without ruining the fun you will most likely have with this unexpected surprise. Let me first start off by saying that Killer Queen has a handful of surprises and this is a difficult film to review without spoiling some of the major ones. Well, McG is back with The Babysitter: Killer Queen and I am pleased to tell you that it is almost every bit as fun as the first film. There is no way a follow-up could live up to the original in my mind. It is also a film that did not need a sequel. ![]() The cast was terrific, the gore was plentiful and the writing was witty. It succeeds on almost every level in the sub-genre which is rare. I absolutely love McGs’ 2017 Netflix horror-comedy, The Babysitter. ![]()
